Uptime monitoring functionality is configured through BetterStack’s dashboard.

​
Setting up monitoring

When you create your project, I recommend adding some specific URLs to monitor. Assuming we’re using JTBDOS.com and it’s subdomains, here’s what you should add:

  1. JTBDOS.com - the web project, should be up if the index page returns a successful response.
  2. app.JTBDOS.com - the app project, should be up if the index page returns a successful response.
  3. api.JTBDOS.com/health - the api project, should be up if the health route returns a successful response. This is a stub endpoint that runs on Edge runtime so it’s very quick.

​
Usage in the UI

JTBDOS provides a Status component from @repo/observability that displays the current status of the application. You can see an example of this in the website footer.

The status component shows 3 potential states:

  • All systems normal - 100% of the uptime monitors are reporting up
  • Partial outage - at least one uptime monitor is reporting down
  • Degraded performance - 0% of the uptime monitors are reporting up

This functionality relies on the BETTERSTACK_API_KEY and BETTERSTACK_URL environment variables.
